Favorite Strat

[BANANAMAN]

You apparently have never experienced Void ray mass in maps like Metopolis.

So I cheesed someone with photon cannons. lol

What does cheese mean?

12 void rays would lose to 20 stalkers and 3 sentries against uncharged rays. If they're all fully charged then you're going to have to let your buildings die or get more stalkers.

A cheese strategy is a gay-shit strategy. Like very very early double ling rush. Or tower rush. Or bunker rush. Or the old proxy-pylon-in-your-base-warp-in rush.

I thought the term was cookie-cutter. Maybe that was just wc3 lingo.

Easy, get some Marines and Vikings.

How many barracks do you get for this? I can never seem to get enough forces out in time.

 

[Sevion]

2-3 Barracks with Reactors. Basically 4-6 Barracks.

I'm liking them void rays.

 

[Lord_Phoenix]

I'm liking them void rays.

Because their pretty hilariously broken.

I like how no one hides the gateway anymore so at least VR rush is easy to scout, though I am pretty much forced to go hydra now since they are the only decent count to VR and I still think muta tech is waaayyy too slow in this game... at least make the building about 30 seconds faster.

 

[Sevion]

Idk. Void Rush is the cheesiest Toss play ever.

 

[BANANAMAN]

Rax Tech,Tech,Core to Port,Core,Core/Tech Viking mass

Works every 2v2 i've ever used it.

Speaking of strategies, I noticed how anything Protoss comes up with early in the game gets beaten by masses of Zealots. Is it just me, or is massive Zealot spam the only actual option until you get your tier 2 factories up?

 

[Sevion]

IME, the only thing that kills Zealot mass is Reaper rush. Nothing else.

 

[INCINERATE]

you could beat mass zealots by scouting dual gate, and getting a bunker early (for your marines to go in) while you tech banshe's fast, dont over do the banshe's though, just like 2 or 3 to stop it , and harass worker. then transition into a normal army.


to stop void ray rush, depends on the strat you choose to do against toss. if you do the standard marine/rader/ghost/medivacs it will be harder to stop it.. because the void ray will hold you in your base for quite some time when all you have is marines, this might cause you to overproduce marines also to fight it, so make sure to get a bunker in your base, incase there is a zealot surprise included after a bit of ray harass

the best unit against the void ray is the viking , but only if you micro the viking, dont go and attack the void ray expecting to win, abuse the fact that you have more range than the voidray . the void ray is also very slow, so when microing vikings against voids do a Hit/Retreat technique,once you do this correctly, it stops the void rays from being able to charge and you will find that even 3 vikings can hold off like 5 void rays

anyway my favourite strat is , PURE terran mech , Thors/Tanks/Hellions/Dropships/Turrets . your army might be slow and almost immobile, but you make up for it with incredible damage bursts and tanking capabilities.

You forget roaches are a very good counter for them. And mass marines can take care of zealots if they dont have charge

And my fav strat is dishing out DTs early game. It completely rapes armies, and perfect for just sneaking in a base and raping there economy and main structures.

One time I went into a complete fortified base, snuck in 3 DTs, and killed all there pylons, making there base literally offline, then I killed his income/workers, Nexus then everything else.

 

[krainert]

I'm thinking countering continued Zealot spam with Protoss - not Terran.
With the latter mass Marines should do fine

 

[BANANAMAN]

Try Sim city+Stalker/Photon cannons.

 

[krainert]

Try Sim city+Stalker/Photon cannons.

Sim City in this context being?

 

[BANANAMAN]

Building positioning.

 

[Crazy_Dead]

10 Tanks, 20 Marine.

 

[BANANAMAN]

Or 24+ Banelings/Zerglings.
